Message sent from Katie Carlson, Sport Clubs Director, on July 23, 2020
Hello Officers, Student-Athletes, & Coaches,
I hope this message finds you healthy and safe. As you’re all aware, we are preparing for a fall, unlike any other, and can guarantee that this semester will not look how it has in the past.
Campus announced earlier this week to begin the fall semester with fully remote instruction. In conjunction with this decision and after research and review with campus officials, national governing bodies, and public health guidelines, Cal Sport Clubs is preparing for a fully virtual fall semester.
At this time, pandemic conditions make it inadvisable to hold in-person events including sport club practices, home and away competitions, fundraisers, and non-essential travel.
Students will be supported in engaging in clubs, activities, and events virtually, and we will do all that we can to enrich the student experience for all.
In preparation for fall semester, the Sport Club admin team is working on a virtual recruitment week as well as virtual tabling for clubs. We will also be offering both scheduled and drop-in advising hours throughout the semester to support your team planning. We’re excited to announce a newly developed leadership, health & wellness series as well as many other virtual opportunities for all students within our program. More updates will be shared soon.
The Sport Club administration will work with each club to brainstorm, draft and execute virtual engagement opportunities with current teammates and potential recruits. Additionally, we’ll be offering planning meetings with all teams, and encourage all of you to sign up. You’ll find a link to our available appointments here.
We’re also available during office hours for phone calls, Google Hangouts, or Zoom calls between 10 AM – 4 PM, Monday – Thursday; 10 AM – 1 PM Fridays.
